02:25Morpheus Completes Sixth Free Flight Test
From the creator
A free flight test of a Morpheus prototype lander was conducted today at NASA Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility. The 82-second test began at 11:32 a.m. EST with the Morpheus lander launching from the ground over a flame trench and ascending to 465 feet. Morpheus then flew forward, covering 633 feet while performing a 55-foot divert to emulate a hazard avoidance maneuver. The lander then descended and landed on a dedicated pad inside the automated landing and hazard avoidance technology (ALHAT) hazard field. Morpheus landed 10 inches west of its intended target.
